Masters In Community Development
Does anybody know of ways to get into an international career?
I am really interested in doing humanitarian and development work. I have a BA in Community Health and this has always been my passion. I have travelled through Honduras and Mexico gaining experience, but I have yet to find an international job.
Does anyone have some tips or websites to visit that might post some jobs that would be suitable?
Most jobs I find require a masters degree and although that is on my to do list, I haven’t made it there yet and I really want to get some international experience.
I wish I could join the Peace Corp, but I’m Canadian and don’t qualify. Thanks for the idea though.
Try the Peace Corp to get some experience and cred (though you won’t make money). With your degree, you’ll be a shoo-in!
ADDED: Is there not a Canadian equivalent to the Peace Corp? I know Japan has one (a friend of mine’s Japanese wife just divorced him to go run off and join it), so I would have assumed that the Western democracies all have them.
Another idea – have you thought about NGOs (non-governmental organizations)? Oxfam comes to mind. And, you might also look at the United Nations – they do lots of work in health areas.
One last thought – look at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They’re all about health issues in the developing world.
Good luck!
